The Grave

The darkness has overcome me The light refuses to shine Forsaken by the air I breathe I have no concept of time Frozen in this awful place Death has made me his slave Forever trapped in nowhere A prisoner of the grave I ponder all the mistakes I've made While ever reasoning my choices Blaming all my wrong decisions On the never ending voices The darkness now envelopes me Four walls becomes my tomb Happiness is a foreign word My heart is filled with gloom This place is neither here nor there A dark and empty cave No beginning or an end This place we call the grave
